Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed March 8.1906- Scrial No. 304,906.

To ail 'LU/Mfllt [It Ill/(by concern:

Be it known that I, ALrnoNs TonNrEn, a

city, Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in \Vindows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a window more particularly designed for churches and similar edifices and which is so constructed that it may be readily removed from its frame for the purpose of repair.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of my improved window, Fig. 2, a longitudinal section on line 2 2, Fig. 1 Fig. 3, a similar section on line 3 3, Fig. 1, with the sash removed Fig. 4, a section, on an enlarged scale on line 4 4, Fig. 1, Fig. 5, a crosssection on line 5 5, Fig. 4, with the sash removed; Fig. 6, a cross-section on line 6 6, Fig. 4; and Fig. 7, a crossssection on line 7 7, Fig. 4.

The frame 10 of the window is provided along its lower section with a front flange 11 and along its upper section with a rear flange 12. The front flange 1]. terminates at each of its upper ends in a forwardly and upwardly extending curved guard 13, having a notch 14. The rear flange 12 is deflected rearwardly at each of its lower ends to onstitute a pair of stops or abutments 15. Intermediate the flanges 11 12 there extends inwardly from frame 10 a pair of pivots 16, on which is free to swing the sash-frame 17. This frame is provided with a pair of dew wardly-extending hooks 18, that enter n16 notches 14 and removably en age the pivots 16. Set-screws 19, passing through the hooks 18, are adapted to be projected be neath pivots 16, Fig. 4, so as to lock frame 17 to frame 10. The hooks 18 are formed on the lower ends of plates 20, secured to frame Vi hen the window is to be opened, the

sash, which should be slightly overbalanced, cltizen of Germany, residing at New York 1 is swung on pivots 16 until frame 17 strikes against steps 15. hen the sash is to be removed, serews 19 are slaekened, so that the i L nooks 15 can be disen aged fiom pivots 16 and the sash can be lifted entirely out of the frame. The sash is manipulated by a suitable handle 23 and may be locked to the frame by a catch 24.

It will be seen that with the construction described the guards 13, as well as the trunnions 16, are carried by the window-frame, while the hooks 18 are carried by the sashfranie. Thus when in hanging the sash the hooks 18 are projected over trunnions 16 they will at the same time pass behind guards 13, so as to be overlapped thereby. Conse quently the hooks cooperating with the guards will exclude the weather between trunnions 16 and flanges 11, while the weather is excluded between trunnions 16 and flanges 12 by the plates 20, made intogral with hooks 18.

\Vhat I claim is 1. A window-frame having lower flanges, a pair of guards extending upwardly therefrom, and a pair of trunnions, combined with a sash-frame having a pair of books adapted to engage the trunnions and to be projected behind the guards, substantially as specified.

2. A window-frame having lower flanges, upper flanges, a pair of guards extending upwardly from the lower flanges, and a pair of trunnions, combined with a sash-frame having a pair of plates, and hooks integral with said plates and adapted to engage the trunnions, whereby the plates are interposed between the trunnions and the upper flanges, while the guarus and hooks are interposed between the trunnions and the lower flanges, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at New York, Manhattan, New York, this 7th day of March, 1906.
